    anyone tried this spring/strut setup (ecstuning)

    http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E30-325...aign=postreply

    I'm looking to drop my sedan. I'm looking to go a bit lower then my eibach pro spring kit, but can't shell out for gc coils (or have readily acess to a welder). Looking for something that doesn't ride too bouncy or too low in the back compared to the front.

    I came across these springs and wondering if anyone has input on them. Please let me know, thanks

    Interesting, but ECS is not including any details on the shock valving and spring rates.

      Unless those springs are super stiff, those front shocks are going to go close to bottoming out... my billy sport and IE Stg3 setup was hitting bump stops which I only noticed when I was trimming the stops for my coilover install....

        KYBs with a big drop, not a good idea. KYB shocks are great for stock or mild drops but they will bottom out left and right on a slammed car. I really don't know why ECS is selling this package.

            For that price, might as well spend a little more and get something more promising.
